Flooding is the most frequent and costly disaster to occur in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Climate change is expected to exacerbate heavy rainfall in our region, and aging flood protection infrastructure in under-resourced communities compound concerns about future flooding. This talk will focus on the components of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability that are making Pennsylvania riskier when it comes to severe flooding.
